Association Football and Davies Middle School
For me to be a member of the National Juniors Honors Society would be an amazing privilege. I believe I should be accepted because I am dedicated and passionate about my activities inside and outside of school. Also I will bring strong leadership as well as teamwork skills to NJHS. I am always looking for new ways to help people even in the smallest of things. Lastly, I have received many recognition awards and commendations. I think these qualities will make me an excellent member of the National Junior Honor Society here at William Davies Middle School. One of my biggest passions is my soccer team, the Hamilton Shock. I have been playing soccer for a little over a year and a half and I love it. We work together not only as a team but like a family through our losses and wins. All we have done is improve. They have helped me become a better soccer player and we have become an excellent team with my optimism and teamwork. Another activity that I am involved with in school is S.W.A.T or Students Working to Advance Technology. We work together to come up with new ways to inform our student body about the events going on at Davies. We are always helping each other with new ideas like our Davies “App” that we are currently working on. In the end our projects always come together.

My biggest community activity is for Special Olympics of New Jersey. My family and I attend many of the events for SONJ including the Summer Games. I started volunteering by working and playing with the athletes. The area we staffed was where the athletes came to take a break and play with carnival-like games. The ages ranged from little kids to adults. It was fun putting smiles on their faces when you told them they won! It showed me we aren’t any different than them. They still like to do sports and have fun. They love to win prizes as do we. They just have disabilities that make them special. Over all volunteering for SONJ is a fantastic experience and in my opinion every boy and

    I have been a volunteer with the local Special Olympics program for a little over a year now, and it has truly been one of the best experiences. I love being able to support and motivate the athletes to do their best and to just have fun being active. Special Olympics has also lead me to other opportunities I would not have known about before volunteering. For example, I recently applied to help volunteer at the Miss Amazing program in Sioux Falls coming up in a couple of months. Spread the Word to End the Word was also a local program I was able to be a part of thanks to Special Olympics.…

    Normally when someone thinks of volunteering at the Special Olympics, they probably think of the fact that it is community service and it is something that looks good on applications for a job or college. What they do not think about is how rewarding and incredible the experience actually is. Growing up, I had always been around mentally challenged adults and children because my mom works with them through Central Valley Regional Center as an intake counselor. When she asked me if I wanted to volunteer one year, I was excited and figured if anything, it would be a fun time. However, I had come to find out that it wasn’t just “fun”, it was a learning experience for me also. There is definitely much more behind it than just helping the athletes compete. It is an awesome opportunity to experience all the positive energy and personal achievement. Every year I find myself bonding and cheering on my peers whose challenges like Downs Syndrome or autism disappears between us while our main focus is on their events they compete in. Not many people take the time to volunteer or some just don’t even know how to go about doing so. I make sure to spread the word that it is open for anyone and everyone to volunteer their time. I choose to bring someone new with me every year to share the gratifying experience by my side in hopes that they can help spread awareness of this event and get others interested as well. That very first year of volunteering with my mom a few years back, there was an incident that took place that helped me right then and there, realize that I wanted to come back every year for the rest of my life. I left the event that day with a new appreciation for life, which I have continued to do every other time since then. The feeling of joy I get anytime the inspiring athletes are surrounding me will never fade.…

    The National Honors Society is more than just a honor roll, but an organization that recognizes the efforts made by hard working high school students. I would like to join National Honors Society because it would challenge my development in both my community and my school.

    I started volunteering as a partner for Special Olympics several years ago, partly because my family had been involved in caring for people with special needs all my life. Participating in sports with the athletes is very enriching because while volunteers do help quite a bit, it’s incredibly rewarding to help put smiles on the athletes faces and doesn’t feel like work at all.…

    I was privileged enough to be a part of a program in my high school that encouraged participating in volunteer work for both the community and school. For the past 3 years of my high school career, I was able to volunteer at neighborhood events hosted by a recreational center to a larger scale event like the Little Feet Meet hosted by Old Dominion University, where a Special Olympics is organized for elementary students across Norfolk who have mental and physical disabilities. By volunteering to these type of events, I realized that one of the fundamental aspects of being a good citizen is helping provide an environment in which everyone can feel free and…

    I used to go every summer to programs in the city parks and every morning we would clean the community for example going around the block picking up trash. For us it was a competition, since those who picked up the most trash would receive a price. During middle school I was also doing community service but not as much anymore since playing sports took most of my time. But once in a while I would volunteer for the Houston Food Bank, packing food packs for those in need. During high school I became the President of one of the organizations called The Humane Club. In this organizations, the other officers and I, would gather different students from the school and gave them community hours if they would go out with us and clean out the communities. We would all go out into the community and paint houses of people who were already old, we would cut their yards, and do any hard work they couldn’t do due to their…

    When I first learned that we would need to volunteer, I knew that I wanted to do something with kids, so I volunteered at Sunnyside Elementary the night of conferences. I had heard that they needed volunteers to watch/play with the children so that their parents could talk their child's teacher without commotion. I figured that that would be a good volunteer job for me to do because I love children! For four hours of my night, I got to see children's eyes light up It was a great experience for me because I got to work with kids, some of my friends and I got to see my old elementary…
